PHYS-435: Statistical physics IIIThis course introduces statistical field theory, and uses concepts related to phase transitions to discuss a variety of complex systems (random walks and polymers, disordered systems, combinatorial o
PHYS-491: Magnetism in materialsThe lectures will provide an introduction to magnetism in materials, covering fundamentals of spin and orbital degrees of freedom, interactions between moments and some typical ordering patterns. Sele
MATH-329: Continuous optimizationThis course introduces students to continuous, nonlinear optimization. We study the theory of optimization with continuous variables (with full proofs), and we analyze and implement important algorith
ME-251: Thermodynamics and energetics IThe course introduces the basic concepts of thermodynamics and heat transfer, and thermodynamic properties of matter and their calculation. The students will master the concepts of heat, mass, and mom
HUM-390: Perspectives critiques de la durabilitéCe cours propose de partir des paradigmes de la durabilité et d'en décliner les conséquences sociales et politiques contemporaines. Nous allons adopter une approche critique des diverses théorisations
ME-426: Micro/Nanomechanical devicesIn this course we will see an overview of the
exciting field of Micro and Nanomechanical systems. We will go over the dfferent scaling laws that dominate the critical parameters, how size affects mat
MATH-437: Calculus of variationsIntroduction to classical Calculus of Variations and a selection of modern techniques. The Calculus of Variations aims at showing the existence of minimisers (or critical points) of functionals that n
PHYS-106(a): General physics : thermodynamicsLe but du cours de Physique générale est de donner à l'étudiant les notions de base nécessaires à la compréhension des phénomènes physiques. L'objectif est atteint lorsque l'étudiant est capable de pr
CIVIL-123: Structures IILe cours permet de comprendre le fonctionnement, déterminer les efforts et de dimensionner les structures en treillis, en poutre, en dalle et en cadre. Le cours se base sur la résolution des efforts p
AR-365: Theory and architectural cultureLe cours offre un résumé de la théorie et la culture architecturales depuis 1789 dans le monde occidentale. Le but est de comprendre des textes dans lesquels l'architecture est définie comme une disci
AR-343: Theory of building materialsPour faire bon usage des matériaux de construction, leur connaissance est indispensable, mais le choix doit être critique et raisonné. Une conscience qui s'acquiert également de manière transversale,
